A corrosion-free, 45 minute exhaust swap is NEVER depressing. Especially when you're no longer embarrassed to drive your new car around town hehe.

As a former Cincinnati guy, I know your pain. This was a garage-kept car that's now in CO.

Hey there.

Yesterday (or the day before) I installed a set of wheel conversion spacers, 11mm, from KYO-EI Project Kics. Combine with Enkei JDM STi wheels, 17x8 with an offset of 53.

The Kit:


Before, front, with stock wheel (17x7, offset: )and original tire (215/45R17):


After, front, with Enkei JDM STi wheel (17x8, offset: 53) and winter tire (225/50R17):


Before, rear, with stock wheel (17x7, offset: )and original tire (215/45R17):


After, rear, with Enkei JDM STi wheel (17x8, offset: 53) and winter tire (225/50R17):


Final product with the Enkei wheels and original tires (215/45R17):


Other photos here: SomeOneQC's BRZ photos.

And a link to a YouTube video, bear with me I'm French Canadian


Not sure, but I think I could have gone with 1 set of 15mm for the back. What do you think ?

Cheers.

Does anyone else ever read the original title to this post and feel like they're getting yelled at in an accusatory tone?

I just replaced my driver's side visor. It was starting to droop down a lot so I just ended up replacing it with the genuine OEM Subaru visor. I'm happy with my purchase because it's a perfect match and the price was low. Here's a link to the visor https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/part...11ca030vh.html

Flogged it up and down some mountain roads on the way home from work. This car is so much fun when you can push it hard :swoon:

Porsche Brake Ducts, $16 for a pair. Did some Thermometer testing and don't see a difference, it's about 3-5F at most but honestly think it's just variables and the accuracy of the laser thermometer. It was easy and cheap at least.
